LETTER TO THE READER

Life is like a learning institution with various classes.

In a natural class, students have questions, comments, ideas, etc. Moreover, the instructor assigns tests, quizzes, homework, and exams at different points during the study.

Similarly, during the journey of life, God administers quizzes, tests, and exams which are presented through events, situations, and circumstances. The answers are provided in the Bible. The assessment is crucial to one’s arrival at his God-prepared location.

The Bible records that God created the woman as a helper to the man. Usually, a helper has more information than the regular person. There are countless women mentioned in the Bible. Majority of the biblical women are nameless; however, each woman has a story that is noteworthy, inspiring, and educational.

This book is about you- a woman. As you turn the pages, you will see yourself, read your story, hear your questions, obtain instructions, and gain answers from ancient women who lived here, had similar experiences, and scored A+ on their life-exams!
